0011 From Concept to Operation: How to Design a Unique Spa with Diana Mestre
Borgo Egnazia Puglia, Italy
Borgo Egnazia stands true to its tagline, it’s like nowhere else. Situated on the southern Italian coast of Puglia, the resort boasts a collection of impressive villas, spacious rooms and cute 2-storey ‘casettas’ all laid out like a traditional Pulgian village in uniform cream-colored stone with intertwining cobblestone streets and seemingly secret pathways. At the heart of the Borgo (meaning village in Italian) is the central piazza, which comes alive at night with special dinners and events held for guests. The timeless cream and white décor is simple yet elegantly chic and attention to detail around the resort is impeccable. The small chapel to the side of the piazza is home to weddings, celebrations and in our case, a spectacular vegetarian dinner prepared for the press delegates and PR team enjoying the resort after the Global Wellness Summit.

Spa Review: Viceroy Riviera Maya Resort, Mexico
Viceroy Riviera Maya offers a boutique luxury experience just north of Playa del Carmen, nestled in the tropical forest the 41 private villas comprise palapa roofs, private pools and indoor/outdoor shower experiences. Around the resort, Viceroy has eliminated plastic water bottles instead, serving carafes of filtered drinking water and reducing plastic waste so often seen around resorts.
Before entering the jungle-based, Wayak Spa at Viceroy Riviera Maya, guests are invited to participate in a Mayan ritual of cleansing the mind and spirit. Instruments beat gently around a small clearing in the lush foliage, close your eyes while sacred copal smoke is ‘smudged’ over the body from head to toe. You are encouraged to let go of thoughts no longer serving you, worries that may be on your mind and to make space for peace and balance.
